What size do I need?

Small: if you're under 30 and haven't given birth vaginally. Large: if you're over 30, or have given birth vaginally.
How do I put it in?

Wash your hands. Fold the cup (the "punch-down" fold is easiest: press one side of the rim down into the base). Hold the fold with the rim up and the stem down. Sit, squat or put one foot on the toilet, relax, and gently insert it angled towards your back. Then grip the base (not the stem) and turn it a full circle so it opens fully and seals. See our How to use guide and video.
How often should I empty it?

Up to every 12 hours, depending on your flow. Empty it more often on heavy days. The markings go up to 15 ml.
Can I empty it in a public toilet?

Yes, the same way as at home. Rinse it with bottled water or wipe it with Beauty Formulas intimate wipes, then put it back in.
